Question

The sum of three consecutive multiples 8 is 888 find the multiples

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the multiples be x+8, x+16 and x+24

According to Question:

x+8 + x+16 + x+24 = 888

3x + 48 = 888

3x = 888-48

3x = 840

x = 840/3

x = 280

x+8 = 280+8 → 288

x+16 = 280+16 → 296

x+24 = 280+24 → 304

Answer 2

$\huge\boxed{\red{\bold{Solution}}}$

✍ let the three consecutive number be x, (x +8) , (x + 16 )..✌

⭐ x + (x +8)+(x+16) = 888

=> x + x+8 + x + 16 = 888

=> 3x + 8 + 16 = 888

=> 3x + 24 = 888

=>3x = 888- 24

=> 3x = 864

=> x = 864/ 3

=> x = 288

So , x = 288

⭐ (x + 8) = 288 + 8 = 296

⭐( x + 16) = 288 + 16 = 304

Hence ,

Three consecutive number be 288, 296 and 304..
